Chapter 255 The Pearl Cake
He is the emperor, and he should naturally focus more on the previous dynasty. This is right. What's more, if Shen Qing links the queen with others based on speculation without any evidence, even if he doesn't like the queen, even if he will still protect her secretly, he doesn't like such behavior.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Ling really wanted to ask Chen Qing if he had figured out his thoughts.
If she had mentioned it before, he would be unhappy, but now, he would not be unhappy. Instead, he felt even more sorry for her.
It's not that he didn't notice that a woman was controlling his emotions to such an extent. After all, he had already realized that he was in front of Shen Qing and his thoughts couldn't keep up. But there were some things that he couldn't control even if he noticed it.
This was the first time that Xuanyuan Ling was so entangled with a woman that he didn't even know how he fell asleep.
The next day was the day for court attendance, but Xuanyuan Ling slept late and couldn't get up the next day.
Zhao Hai could only remind him. Facing the low pressure from Xuanyuan Ling who hadn’t slept well, Zhao Hai’s calves were shaking.
Most of the ministers in the court that day were also affected. However, although Xuanyuan Ling had a bad temper, he was still rational, which made him more picky than usual.
The well-informed ministers of the previous dynasty all knew about Concubine Wang's affairs. After all, her father was also implicated, so how could they not have discovered it? But in the past, Xuanyuan Ling generally would not express such displeasure openly in the court.
It was so obvious today that many people wondered if the emperor really valued Lady Yi. Otherwise, how could her temper become so bad after losing her child?
I have to say, it happened just in time, so more people misunderstood.
Xuanyuan Ling continued to handle government affairs after the court session, but his expression was never good. So those who wrote letters of greeting and flattery for no reason would suffer. Normally, Xuanyuan Ling would have just let it go, but this time it was obviously the tail end of the storm. Although they were not demoted, they were all reprimanded. What's the point of flattering? It would be better to do something practical.
A day passed like this, and when it was time for dinner, he was looking at a dish of pearl cake.
Shen Qing actually loves this pearl cake.
So, I was originally struggling with it, and was trying to divert my attention by handling government affairs, but when I saw the pearl cake, I remembered it again.
This gift from the imperial kitchen came at the perfect time.
He even asked, "Did Concubine Xi ask someone to send it?"
Zhao Hai suddenly asked him this and he really didn't know how to answer.
"Call the waiter."
Xuanyuan Ling was thinking at this moment that Chen Qing might not be afraid of telling him everything. Maybe she asked someone to send him there. If she did, then he would go to see her too.
As a result, everyone in the imperial kitchen said they didn’t have any.
Xuanyuan Ling took a deep breath. She really said it out loud. It was amazing what kind of character she had.
You're just relying on him not wanting to let go, right? You don't even plan to try to save the relationship?
But he really couldn't bear to do it, damn it.
"Redo it for me."
On that day, the imperial kitchen was reprimanded because the food was not of Japanese taste.
Of course, Chen Qing cannot say that he does not pay attention to Xuanyuan Ling. After all, although the matter has been dealt with, we still have to wait and see what happens next. Chunhua and the others watched Xuanyuan Ling leave with a dark face. This was not the incident of Chen Qing's self-injury that had just happened, and they were really afraid that the emperor would know what tricks Chen Qing was playing behind his back.
Speaking of tricks, who doesn't play them in the harem? But there is a big difference between playing them secretly without the emperor finding out and playing them with the emperor finding out.
As long as the emperor doesn't find out, no matter how many tricks you use, you will be fine. But if the emperor finds out, he will accuse you of being scheming. Once this hat is put on you, it will be really bad.
Just like Concubine Ru, she was not a good person in the emperor's heart. He thought she was restless. Even if she became a concubine, the emperor would just keep her there.
So Chen Qing knew about Xuanyuan Ling's scolding of the imperial kitchen. She was very familiar with the imperial kitchen. Shang Dexi could not even say that he was just taking care of her now. That was out of respect. Chen Qing sent someone to ask him, and he naturally told her all the causes and consequences.
When Shen Qing heard that the cause was a pearl cake, he laughed.
She really didn't believe that Xuanyuan Ling could still think of others when looking at the pearl cake just because of the preferences she had instilled in him. It was a good thing that he could scold the imperial kitchen for a pearl cake today. He always took out his anger on others, not on her.
It's a bit emotional to say, he cares about her a lot. Although timing is important, it ultimately depends on him. The matter of contraceptive pills can be a big deal or a small one.
To put it in a broader sense, if there is no premise that the Queen aborts the mother and keeps the child, then she secretly uses contraception. Xuanyuan Ling knows that even though he dotes on her, he is not a fool. When he comes to his senses, he will find that she has been lying to him before. With Xuanyuan Ling's temper, Shen Qing doesn't think he can tolerate it.
He seemed to have a good temper, but he had a low tolerance for certain things. She had reason to suspect that if he had known about it in advance, or had learned about it from others, ignoring her would have been the least he could do.
But not now. After this incident, he will come to find her. It's just a matter of time.
Instead, "Should we give him a way out?"
"My queen?" Chunhua didn't understand what Shen Qing said.
Shen Qing smiled and said, “How about giving me one?”
She thought about it and it didn't prevent her from having a good sleep at night. In contrast, Xuanyuan Ling, who thought of Chen Qing again because of a pearl cake, had another bad night.
It was really terrible. It was obviously Shen Qing who did it, but he was the one who was miserable.
The next day, he attended the morning court as usual and handled government affairs. However, at lunch time, he saw the pearl cake again.
Xuanyuan Ling was furious: "Are all the people in the imperial kitchen dead?" You think the punishment is not enough?
Zhao Hai waited for him to finish and then whispered, "The Imperial Kitchen said that Concubine Xi sent someone to deliver it."
Xuanyuan Ling: “…”
He looked at the pearl cake again, and after a while asked, "Did she ask someone to deliver it?"
Zhao Hai was also worried, mainly because he didn't know what happened between Xuanyuan Ling and Shen Qing. Something was wrong when they came out of Zhaohua Palace that day. Later it seemed that it wasn't because of Concubine Xi that was angry, but the emperor's temper was getting worse and worse. He didn't dare to ask Shen Qing to calm down, which made him very embarrassed.
These past two days, he felt that Xuanyuan Ling would punish him the next moment.
Therefore, he was really happy to mention the gift given by Shen Qing today. If this could please the emperor, he would be happy to pay homage to Empress Xi.
"Bring it here."
When Zhao Hai heard that there was something going on, he quickly brought the pearl cake over. Then he saw Xuanyuan Ling pinching a piece of pearl cake and eating it for a day, and seemed to say casually: "Reward."
Well, I was punished for the pearl cake yesterday, and I was rewarded today.
